ABSTRACT:
An apparatus (10a) for scanning a light beam (16) through a crystal arrangement (22) that has a first frame member (28), a first support member (24) to support a first optical element (18) in the first frame member (28) and a drive mechanism (32) to rotate the first support member (24). The first support member (24) is rotatably mounted in the first frame member (28). The first optical element (18) is arranged to receive the light beam (16). The first optical element (18) is supported by the first support member (24) so that the first optical element (18) is rotatable with the first support member (24). The first optical element (24) is tiltable about a diametral line of the first optical element (18), relative to the axis of the light beam (16) to be scanned through the crystal arrangement (22). A frequency conversion apparatus (50) provides a first crystal set (52) and a second crystal set (54). Each of the first and second crystal sets (52, 54) has at least one non-linear optical crystal. The first crystal set (52) receives a beam (16) of coherent radiation that passes through the first crystal set (52). The second crystal set (54) receives the beam (16) after it passes through the first crystal set (52), and the beam (16) then passes through the second crystal set (54). One of the first and second crystal sets (52, 54) is aligned for frequency conversion of the beam (16) in the cold state of that crystal set and the other one of the first and second crystal sets (52, 54) is aligned for frequency conversion of the beam (16) in the warm steady state of that other crystal set.
